Elon Musk’s X has announced that it will finance the defense of a doctor in Canada who has been targeted and had her life savings drained away by having to fight legal battles after speaking out against COVID lockdowns and vaccine mandates.
In the announcement, X said it is “proud to help defend Dr. Kulvinder Kaur Gill against the government-supported efforts to cancel her speech.”
X notes that Dr. Gill “spoke out publicly on Twitter (now X) in opposition to the Canadian and Ontario governments’ COVID lockdown efforts and vaccination mandates, she was harassed by the legacy media, censored by prior Twitter management, and subjected to investigations and disciplinary proceedings by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario that resulted in ‘cautions’ being placed on her permanent public record.”
“Free speech is the bedrock of democracy and a critical defense against totalitarianism in all forms,” the company continued, adding “We must do whatever we can to protect it, and at X we will always fight to protect your right to speak freely.”
“When Elon Musk learned earlier this week about her crowdfunding campaign to pay the judgment, he pledged to help. X will now fund the rest of Dr. Gill’s campaign so that she can pay her $300,000 judgment and her legal bills,” the announcement further noted.
It is yet another example of Elon Musk sticking to his word after he promised to finance the legal battles for people targeted by their employers for stating opinions in X/Twitter posts.
As we previously highlighted, Musk is financing actress and former mixed martial artist Gina Carano in her lawsuit against Disney, charging that the company unfairly fired her from the Star Wars spin off ‘The Mandalorian’ because of her political beliefs and public statements on X regarding cultural issues.
Musk commented on the latest case, noting he is doing it “in support of your right to speak.”
Dr. Gill responded to Musk:
Musk became aware of the case after the doctor appeared on a podcast with Dr Jay Bhattacharya to discuss how she has been persecuted for opposing lockdowns, which are now proven to have been wholly detrimental.
Meanwhile, one of X’s own legal battles, against pro-censorship organisation Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) for attempting to get advertisers to boycott the platform, was dismissed by a judge who ironically claimed that the case is about “punishing the Defendants for their speech.”
